Joel, My car is getting really close. I'm working on the interior stuff now. I will send you some pictures of some other cool things I've done with it. Russ

Figured I would chime in here since I built my brothers 240sx with an RB20 and it makes a little over 400whp on pump gas. Here is what we spent to get there..... Motor was $1000 shipped. Once we got it we installed head studs and a steel head gasket. Maybe $300 for both. He drove the car for a while then we decided it needed more power. We changed the exhaust manifold to an ebay header for $175 and added a GT30R turbo at $900 and a Tial wastegate for $175. We also changed the intake manifold to one of the ebay RB26 style manifolds for $300 and added RB26 injectors that were laying around, a light weight flywheel and a centerforce clutch for $400. At 20lbs of boost the car makes a little over 400whp and is a blast to drive. It's a little laggy but you get used to it. We have made no internal modifications to the engine and we beat the crap out of this thing all the time. It has about 15000 miles on it in its current form. We have less that $3500 in the motor but its maxed out. This doesn't include things that you would need regardless of which engine you choose like ECU, Harness, fabrication, intercooler, driveshaft,etc. Figure with price like they are it would cost over $3500 now. If your on a budget and can't afford the RB26 then I guess the RB20 would better than the L series. You would be further ahead by saving and going with RB26 to start with since you can pickup a motor and a Z32 trans for less than $4000 and start with 400whp before doing the normal modification. Russ
